Blaming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone losses on hackers has become much more difficult, as Infinity Ward and Activision confirm that more than 200,000 players have been banned for cheating.
The game’s developers, in a tweet yesterday, announced that this impressive number of cheaters has been banned in the short time since the game’s launch in October last year.
The announcement comes shortly after the release of the sixth season of Warzone, in which subways and new weapons were added to the immensely popular online game.
This total comes after an additional 20,000 players were reportedly banned for using a computer program called ‘EngineOwning’, a popular method of cheating in the game. The EngineOwning website now lists the cheat, which previously gave players using it a clearly unfair advantage, as found; which means that whatever account it is being used on will be banned instantly.
The ban list included popular streamer ‘Wagnificent’, who received the message informing him of a permanent ban in the middle of a live broadcast.
The fact that these cheaters exist comes as no surprise, especially after popular YouTuber ‘NickMercs’ interacted with a hacker live on the stream. The hacker in question revealed that despite being banned several times, all that was needed to continue playing was a new account; something that can be easily accomplished in a free game.
While 200,000 may seem like an impressive statistic in the developer’s efforts to crack down on online gambling cheats, it is clearly a very simple task to bypass a banned account.
Also, although this deception method has been removed, like weeds, several more will appear in the coming months.
It remains to be seen how significant this number is and if a large proportion of these banned players are already back in the game. However, for at least several weeks the game should be cheat free, so the next time you reach the final circle only to have a player hiding in a hedge annihilate you and your team, you will only be to yourself. to blame.
